Bad coaching is..

why are you blaming the coach???


Who does nothing while opponents go on runs… zero adjustments. putting an injured Ant on the floor.

Ant plays like he’s been given the losing script.

He’s clearly not well. We have seen him play this way when battling injury.

I feel like this is an A or A- effort from Golden State so far.

They're playing suffocating defense but haven't made a 3 yet. They just said this is the first half in 18 years that the Warriors haven't made a 3 if I heard them right.

Ant needs to play better. And Rudy is unplayable right now. The way GS is playing, we can’t score with him on the floor. Way too compacted in the lane. Second half has to be Randle/Naz for the majority of the minutes.

He doesn't look that injured. Just missing shots at the rim and rushing his jumpshots

They play better than us, more smart. ANT is totally not in the game ( injured?). Will be a tough one , one more time when we could make it much more easy. Have to admit GSW defense is elite too but we can play much better on offensive part.

Rudy IMO played as well or better than most of the Wolves. How long did we go without a basket?

Their defense is overrated, wolves just shooting like **** to end the half… coach’s lineup did not help!

Gs defense isn’t even that good to me. Wolves just missing a ton of solid looks. I just noticed the extender is assigned tonight too

I think it was close to 7 minutes to go when we took a 39-29 lead. We scored 1 point the rest of the half.

Wolves suck in mid range. The only guy that can score there is Randle. Warriors are get out to 3pt shooters. I don't know why we don't see more Naz post up or setup JMcD for the mid range. We keep trying to hunt 3s and they are not there. I think it is Coaching staff not making adjustments or players aren't listening.

I am really worried about our shooting. It has been bad all playoffs. I credit a lot to the warriors defense but man, we get shut down a lot. No answers, Ant has been in hell too, can't get anything going.

The Wolves just can't stand prosperity. Once they get a 10 pt or more lead they think they can take it easy and go through the motions with predictable bad results. When will this team ever learn? Never.

What has happened to Anthony Edwards? I wonder if he's spending too much time teeing up females? It has to be something.

We're tight. We need Naz to stay out of foul trouble and light them up a bit.

We need some urgency in the 2nd half, but we also need to be calm, confident and relaxed. Tricky.

Scott Foster screw job in progress.

We can't touch them but they can flop and push off all game long.

We suck on offense when Naz Reid sits.

Dante has been just plain awful.

Go up 39-29, Naz picks up his 3rd foul and we finish the half on the wrong end of a 13-1 run.

Rudy has got to be smarter and stronger.
How a guy who has won 4 DPOYs is still handchecking a driver instead of having both hands in the air I will never figure out.

Rudy has 10 rebounds, 3 blocks and has already shut down like 5 or 6 attempts this quarter alone.

He’s not the problem.

We got pulled down into the BS muddy sludge game they wanted us to play.

We need to get our effort level WAY up and get much, much more aggressive on offense.

Return to Minnesota Timberwolves
